ADIANTUM ÆTHIOPICUM, L.
ADIANTUM OATESII, Baker. (Plate K.)
Stipe slender, brown, glabrous. Lamina pedate, with 6–7 pinnate
divisions, the largest 6–8 inches long, 1¼–1½ inch broad; end segment
cuneate, ½–1 inch broad; side segments dimidiate, shortly petioled,
all, except the lowest, rather ascending, imbricating over the rachis
at the inner anterior corner, the largest ¾–⅞ inch broad, ½ inch long,
straight and truncate on the lower and inner borders, cut into deep
rounded lobes on the upper and outer borders; lower segments gradually
dwindling down in size; rachis quite glabrous and scale-less, bright
brown; texture thin, membranous; both surfaces bright green and
glabrous. Sori not seen. Veins close, fine, distinct, flabellate, free.
Closely allied to the American and Asiatic _A. pedatum_, Linn., from
which it differs by the fewer divisions of the frond, the outer ones
not falcately curved, and its shortly-petioled ultimate segments, which
are fewer, broader, and imbricated over the rachis.
